While today's presentation will focus mainly on wikis hosted at Wikispaces, there are several wiki service providers (or "farms") out there; other services popular among educators include PBWorks , Wetpaint, and Wikia. Both Wikispaces and PBWorks offer advertisement-free wikis for use by K-12 educators, along with other incentives. To compare features of over 100 different wiki farms, check out WikiMatrix.org.
Use the sidebar menu to navigate the wiki and access information covered in the day's workshop. This wiki will remain online for your reference; please feel free to share with your colleagues, parents, and students.
